Manxkat,<br><br>I received the same warning by e-mail last week , forwarded on from someone who had received an e-mail with an article originating from the same guy, but without all the numerology crap (which I don’t have much time for – other than the fact that 911 was chosen by someone to make an blatantly obvious point, & 7/7, which sits in scary headlines quite nicely).<br><br>I did find the story below in my newspaper this morning (also online at <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/crime/article324374.ece" target="top">news.independent.co.uk/uk/crime/article324374.ece</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> )<br><br>I’m not sure whether it was a ‘crank up the spring’ action to rally MP’s into accepting Blair’s new ‘(War on) Terrorism’ laws (which incidentally, got passed in a slightly watered down format by a majority of 1 vote in the house of commons, yesterday!), or something else; so that when the next ‘event’ happens, there will be a chorus of “We told you so”.<br><br>We shall see if anything pans out, but like you I am inclined to doubt it.<br><br>Strange alos this story, released today <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4401900.stm" target="top">news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4401900.stm</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> which states that 'The London Assembly 7 July Review Committee is considering how best to prepare people for similar disasters' OK, but note the sentence that <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>But intelligence matters are not being scrutinised.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> <br><br>Also 'Anyone wishing to recount their experiences of the day can send an email to:
7july@london.gov.uk.'<br><br>That reminds me of when I flew back into my UK airport last week from a few days in Spain, there was a discreet but noticeable poster at Passport Control stating 'Did you take any photos of the events of July 7th in London? If so please contact.........etc.<br>yep, so we can confiscate all photos, particularly ones that are anomolous and do not lend credence to the ‘Official explanation’<br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Former MI6 chief warns of 'dreadful' terror threat <br>By Robert Verkaik</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> <br>Published: 03 November 2005 <br>Britain faces a much greater terrorist threat than the attack carried out by four suicide bombers that killed 52 people in London in July, the former head of the intelligence services has warned. <br><br>The former MI6 chief Sir Richard Dearlove said that we must now expect a biological, chemical, radiological or even nuclear attack because intelligence showed that was what al-Qa'ida and its linked organisations had developed an interest in. <br><br>He said that the July 7 bombings were "locally" planned and executed, and that we were "misleading ourselves" if we thought this was the worst we could expect. <br><br>The greater threat, said Sir Richard, was a "strategic event" in which terrorists would make use of technology available on the internet. <br><br>"There's some complacency about the nature of the threat and we are misleading ourselves if we think this is the worse it can be ... There are much more dreadful events that could occur." <br><br>He told a seminar on the Government's counter-terrorism measures, organised by international law firm Ashursts, that rapid advances of genetic manipulation of viruses meant we "had to believe that they will do something extremely frightening". But he believed a nuclear attack, such as a dirty bomb, was "low risk" because of the difficulty for terrorists to obtain fissile material. <br><br>He told the audience of lawyers and human rights experts the measures in the Terrorism Bill were necessary because "we have to give the Government the best chance of preventing such an event". <hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br> <p></p><i></i>
